This is my list for 1,000 points of seraphon, I’m going for the summon spam with slann and astrolith bearer, because let’s be honest, it’s pretty great. Thought the synergy between the Saurus Warriors, Sunblood w/ Sunclaw starhost, and skink priest would be able to hold the line pretty well. What do you guys think? 30x Saurus Warriors- -1 rend, 2 damage because both of my friends play chaos armies, 2 attacks with jaws, 6’s do 2 damage because of Starpriest 10x Skinks- hold objective Slann Astrolith bearer Starpriest Sunblood Feedback would be appreciated, I’m pretty new to AOS. Also hopefully summoning a bastiladon by turn 3 and then skinks from there.
Only problem is getting to turn 3 with your Slann alive, you don't have much to stop the enemy killing him with an early attack. You might be better summoning in Skinks or Rippers and blocking the enemy off, use Lord of Space and Time to full effect.
Thanks for the advice, I still have yet to get my hands on some rippers but I’ve heard they’re insanely good
You might be better off using your Skinks aggressively early on. If can speedbumb and entangle one or two enemy units then you should be able to set up good combat for your Saurus Warriors in future turns. Essentially you need to buy two or three turns for your summoning to really kick off. I love Sunclaw, particularly Fangs of Sotek, but I have never tried to make it work at 1k. Let us know how your matches go
Thanks for the advice! Myfriends and I have just recently started playing, I’m playing seraphon, and the others are playing tzeentch, stormcast, and nurgle. So far I’ve done pretty well, just always looking to stay on top, and recently with the new summoning update I feel like seraphon will turn into one of the best armies. I’ll let ya know how they go!
You could be able so summon it since turn 2. Slann 10 pts/round, +1d3 from Astrolith. If you roll 4 with 2 d3, you'll have 24 pts by turn 2. or you could swap the starpriest for a Cogs spell, then the Basti at turn 2 will be basically guaranteed.
